The AB7s just beat Samoa 26 - 22. That means they finish top of their pool.

Their Cup QF is tomorrow at 4.14pm. Opponent TBC.

Good win. I saw we were 17-0 down at half time.

[Stargazer]

It's 5-0 to South Africa at half time in their game v Fiji. NZ will probably play the losere of this match in the Cup QF.

Fiji gone if they lose aren't they?

[Stargazer]

FT: South Africa 17 - 7 Fiji

NZ will indeed play Fiji in the Cup QF. Tomorrow, 4.14pm NZT.

53 - 0

That's a good response after having lost to them previously.

Obviously lost the arrogance ...

[Stargazer]

@hydro11 Nope, Fiji through to Cup QF on points differential.

After they beat them last time, yes

[antipodean]

New Zealand bumbling their way to another loss against Fiji. Half time : 5 - 12

[antipodean]

Fiji win 19 - 5 despite a YC

New Zealand don't look coached they're that bad.

[Machpants]

yeah getting worse as the season goes on, and not lifting for the big teams

Knewstubb deciding to shit the bed all over the park didn't help. About 3 crucial errors from him then Rokolisoa following suit sealed the game. Without those, they looked well in the game IMO.

BTW fuck Foxtel. Had it on in the background awaiting the NZ QF and all of a sudden it's showing an old interview with David Campese from the Back Page and I'm trying to find live wcore updates.

(Fox may have switched to another channel but I only thought of that about half an hour later... and by then didn't care) ...

5th place semi-final: NZ v Australia starts at 7.28pm.

Not for the first time either.

[Stargazer]

The AB7s are through to the 5th place final after beating Australia 27 - 25 in extra time. Opponent will be Samoa.

[Bones]

That was an odd game. NZ phasing in and out of that game, at times looking like they had money on Aus, for example, why was Mikkelson lying on the ground watching for the Aus try to draw level?

Good to get the win, but definitely didn't look to be 100% application.

Apart from Webber, without him we lose that.

[Stargazer]

@Bones I heard part of an interview on the radio earlier today (I don't know who it was) and it was mentioned that there are a few players playing with "niggles". So some of them are not 100% fit. I didn't hear names.

[Bones]

@Stargazer that would make sense, Mikkelson has been making it look really hard from what I've seen this tournie. Curry has looked off the pace and hobbled off. Even Ware doesn't look to have his usual game breakiness.

[Stargazer]

South Africa through to the final after beating the USA.

[Stargazer]

Geez, those Fijians make it look so easy!
